Employment prospect of metallurgical specialty
Iron and steel smelting, as a pillar industry of national economic development, has broad employment prospects for metallurgical engineering. Metallurgical engineering is a discipline with a history of thousands of years, which began to develop from the smelting and casting of bronze in Xia and Zhou Dynasties. Since New China, metallurgical engineering has been highly valued, and China's steel output has been in the forefront of the world. With the development of science, metallurgical engineering also needs more high-quality professionals to develop this ancient and important industry.
Metallurgical engineering graduates can engage in production, design, scientific research and management in metallurgical field. TOP5 jobs suitable for metallurgical engineering graduates are energy/minerals, others, IT/ technology, academic/scientific research, education/training. The destinations of metallurgical engineering graduates are concentrated in TOP5, which are large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises, small and medium-sized state-owned enterprises, public institutions, large and medium-sized foreign-funded enterprises and large and medium-sized private enterprises. The proportion of metallurgical engineering graduates who think that their profession and their major are very mismatched is 10% and 12% respectively. At the same time, 8% and 24% of graduates think that their profession and their major are "very matched" and "relatively matched". The matching index of this major and occupation is 0, which is medium compared with other majors. Master of metallurgical engineering can be employed.
Employment direction of metallurgical specialty

Postgraduate entrance examination direction 1: metallurgical physical chemistry
Professional introduction:
Metallurgical physical chemistry is two disciplines of metallurgical engineering. This major is an interdisciplinary subject formed by the integration of metallurgical engineering and physical chemistry.
Traditional metallurgical physical chemistry refers to the physical chemistry of metallurgical process, and its subject content includes three traditional parts: metallurgical process thermodynamics, metallurgical process dynamics and metallurgical melt. With the continuous development of disciplines, new metallurgical physical chemistry disciplines include metallurgical thermodynamics and thermochemistry, metallurgical dynamics and process strengthening, metallurgical melt, basic theory and electrochemical engineering of metallurgical electrochemistry, secondary resource chemistry of nonferrous metals, physical chemistry of materials and new energy materials, physical chemistry of resources and environment, physical chemistry of green metallurgy and material preparation, metallurgical nonlinear theory, metallurgical physical chemistry under external action, bio-metallurgical physical chemistry and metallurgical physical chemistry.
Postgraduate entrance examination direction 2: iron and steel metallurgy
Professional introduction:
As a branch discipline, iron and steel metallurgy began in the early 20th century, and it is a two disciplines under metallurgical engineering. As an engineering science based on the development and utilization of iron ore and composite ore resources and the production and processing of materials, iron and steel metallurgy studies the basic laws of reactions and phenomena in iron and steel production. The metallurgical process of iron and steel is a process of physical and chemical changes at high temperature. Its basic phenomena are mass transfer, heat energy and momentum transfer, solid movement, fluid flow, chemical reaction and phase change.
Training objectives:
Graduates of this major should have a solid theoretical foundation in physical chemistry, extractive metallurgy and metallurgy. , and has systematic professional knowledge in its research field to understand the progress and trend of modern iron and steel metallurgy. Can use computer, advanced testing technology and detection means to carry out general iron and steel metallurgical experimental research. Master a foreign language and be proficient in reading foreign language materials of this major. Have the ability to engage in scientific research or independently undertake professional and technical work. The master's thesis should be innovative in theory and improved in method or technology.
Postgraduate direction 3: Nonferrous metallurgy.
Professional introduction:
Nonferrous metallurgy is the two disciplines under metallurgical engineering. This subject is an engineering and technical subject that studies the extraction of metals or compounds from raw materials such as ores and secondary resources, and makes products with certain performance and economic value. The research object of non-ferrous metals discipline is mainly the complex multi-phase chemical reaction law, so as to quantitatively determine the direction and boundary of the reaction, the actual reaction rate and influencing factors, and the interaction between the chemical reaction rate and the related momentum, heat and mass transfer. On this basis, the reactor can be optimized and the process can be automatically controlled. Its research fields include pyrometallurgy, hydrometallurgy, electrometallurgy, chemical metallurgy of materials and metallurgical separation process.
